Siegfried Goeschl commented on CODEC-104:
-----------------------------------------
And I borrowed it from Apache Directory Study to provide the functionality in
fulcrum ... ;-)
> Please add a function for the classical Unix crypt(3) hash

> Key: CODEC-104
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CODEC-104
> Project: Commons Codec
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Christian Hammers
>
> The Sun Java APIs lack a function for the classical Unix crypt(3) hash that
> was used in e.g. /etc/passwd or Apache htpasswd and is still widely used
> dispite the availablitity of better algorithms like MD5 or SHA.
> Apart from me cursing Sun for producing monster crypto APIs but missing the
> little things that one really needs, there are already several Apache projects
> that implemented UnixCrypt for their own:
> org.apache.directory.studio.ldapbrowser.core.utils.UnixCrypt
> org.apache.fulcrum.crypto.impl.UnixCrypt
> and maybe others
> bye,
